Rain comes pouring down in the Sanctuary, and Pope Arles is confident that Shaka will kill the Bronze Saints. Ikki suddenly awakens and attacks Shaka with his Phoenix Illusion. Unfortunately for Ikki, he is feeling the effects of his own illusion and sees a traumatizing event from his past. Shaka then destroys the Phoenix Bronze Cloth without any effort and twists Ikki's body. Ikki recovers and tries to escape, unfortunately, he doesn't get very far. Shaka attacks, but Ikki reappears with his Phoenix Cloth restored, swearing to attack until Shaka is defeated...
